The head of the Gaza Strip’s biggest hospital said on Monday after being freed from more than seven months of detention that he had been “tortured” by Israel.
Al-Shifa hospital director Mohammed Abu Salmiya was among more than 50 Palestinians released and returned to Gaza for treatment, according to an Israeli minister and a medical source in the besieged territory.
Salmiya said he was put through “severe torture” during his detention, which left him with a broken thumb.
